Day 25 - Part 4/4

"When building a structure and there happens to be a fault, it's best not to keep building or else the building falls. Instead it is better to tear everything down, plan and start again."

Okay so it's really hard to recount my day without getting too personal but I'll try anyway.

I woke up, brushed my teeth, and got something to eat. My grandmother already prepared me a plate of rice, egg, meat and chicken. A different meal from eggs and toast. Today's weather was very unexpected and very sad, just like recent events. Anyways me being, well me I went out with an umbrella, but with just a t-shirt on. Of course I was wearing pants, that goes without saying. Maybe not. Whether the cold was bad or not it was kind of a nice change from all the hot days and nights recently.

Got back home, no symptoms of illness are present. That's good. Ate dinner, more rice. Abi (my parrot) climbed onto my shoulder and just stayed there the whole time while I was watching TV. In fact right now he just walked into my room and climbed onto my chair as I am typing. And was THIS close to biting off the buttons on my keyboard. That actually happened to my brother's laptop. And I have the same computer. Well I got him out of the room and he bit me. And now I'm bleeding. Great.

Tomorrow I got to go to some health check up thing. I don't know what thats about but it was free. Just got to keep alert in case they try to scam me. Also tomorrow is the continuation of Don't Touch My Girl, really excited for that. I actually find it so good that I might go and buy their album. It's been a while since I bought another album. I'll sample the other songs before I decide.

Game/anime rant
Been playing Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 (such a mouthful to say) and so far I'm enjoying it. They managed to get all the pivotal and best scenes of the anime really well in the game but somehow it feels like they made the boring parts even more boring. I'm almost at the end and what I can tell this is just a summarised version of the original. It does a good job at it but is no substitute for the original. Also I have people telling me and complain about the slow parts of the show and the fillers. Well I agree it kinda sucks but if there was a major fight with main villains every episode it wouldn't really be that special anymore. It needs that balance to make us believe that the world being portrayed is real and has real problems such as political stuff and friendships. And then there's the occasional battle with ninja battles. This isn't Dragon Ball Z people!

Don't think much will happen later tonight so might as well end it here. Also I called it part 4/4 because tomorrow I supposedly get my broadband speed back. So this will be the last instalment of my blogs and I'll be going back to vlogs. Hooray! Though I might go back to blogging after Vlogtober finishes. So much easier and convenient.


So... Halloween is coming up. I'm know Australians aren't as enthusiastic compared to Americans but there are people who still do it. I wonder if CO is going to do something. Anyways...

related.

Part 3

Today's post has a bit of gloomy parts so I italicised the gloomy parts. I apologise in advance.

Despite sleeping relatively early, I wasn't able to sleep. Probably cause of the heat or the minor hay fever, or that I had a lot of things on my mind last night. So many mixed feelings left me really confused. The fact that I had conflicting emotions meant that there is something definitely wrong with me. Anyway the whole ordeal made me feel very unmanly which really sucked and I just wanted to sleep on it and deal with it today.

So I woke up at 8 but my bird was doing his morning squawking which is always loud and it made me close my door and try block out the noise by sleeping in. So I officially got up at 2pm. So food was had and seeing as I had nothing to do, I decided to get rid of all my old textbooks which were still around the house. And by "decided" meant that I was told to do so but I chose today to do it.

I've been reflecting and thinking a lot today. More than I have in a long time. Because honestly, I don't really like being so deep in thought and emotional. But we all have to do it sometime, that's a part of growing up. And I feel like I've got a long way ahead of me in the growing up department! So many things I have yet to do, and I want to do it right.


The primary emotion I'm feeling right now: guilt


Sure, it seems okay to just let things go the way they are. But the longer things go on, the more I feel eaten up inside, and the more damage it can do in the long run. Like a spirit bomb. It's time to man up and make the hard choices for the better. I hope I choose the right decisions.

Anyways no more downer stuff. I just remembered last night Kelvin quoted me something from his msn convo with Dan, which was very teehee. Feels like it was taken WAY out of context but teehee none the less. A lot of the crew seem to be really busy with uni stuff. High schoolers obviously are having exams. Though it makes me wonder if the crew can do the next performance despite our loss in manpower. Don't think it can be as good as our last performance but only time will tell.

On a side note, I wanted to say something about people obsessing over their name on coke cans/bottles. Yes I know how cool it is to find a coke with your name on it and it can be a pleasant surprise. But people who go as far as to line up just to have their own name printed at certain malls is a little bit sad. Did you forget that the point was to share that coke with the person with that name? So you're going to share a coke with yourself? Forever alone much? That's why if I do bother to do it I'd print the names of people I'd want to give to as gifts. Wouldn't that be much more nice?

Still have a lot of books to get rid of. I'll probably finish it by tonight. So that's pretty much the day. To end on a high note, here's something that made me laugh a lot. If you never played the game Maple Story then you probably won't find it as funny as I do.

Blogtober Part 2 (Vlogtober Day 23)

Alright time for the second instalment of Vlogtober - Written Edition


Parents woke us up telling us to get ready for lunch at the city. Guess today was family outing day. And I also realised that I didn't charge my phone last night, and that it was completely flat. How was that even possible? Luckily I managed to charge about 40% of the battery while we were getting ready to leave. All I had to do was not use any apps on my phone. We parked at Star City and ate at the new food court after what feels like years of construction work. The food was alright, I preferred the food I usually have in the city though. Afterwards my parents went to Westfield while me and my brother went around the city.

There was going to be a Tekken arcade tournament at Galaxy World today, something my brother would definitely be interested in. $60 first prize too. But it was going to start at 6pm which we both couldn't be bothered to since we'd rather eat dinner. Also went to the JB Hi Fi in World Square. I saw they had a copy of the 1966 Batman: The Movie for around $13 (Kelvin, we know what to do...)

Dinner was at a sushi bar on Liverpool Street. Realised we go there a lot now. Must be really good since the place closes and opens at 5:30 for dinner while people are already waiting in line. I was happy since I got to practice my Japanese sushi eating etiquette. I'll list some of it here:

• Don't rub chopsticks together - it insinuates that the establishment has crap quality chopsticks (which this place definitely didn't)
• Don't pour too much soy sauce in your dish, say over 50% of the dish. It's to do with wastefulness which is understandable.
• For nigiri (the ones with fish on a lump of rice) you can grab and eat it in your hand. Also when dipping in soy sauce only the fish is to touch the sauce not the rice. Apparently it's gross to have stray rice pieces in the sauce dish. Also apparently adding soy sauce to rice is like adding ketchup to white bread in Japan. Yeah...

I could write more but they have more to do with how to enjoy sushi more than actual table manners. I really hope I haven't pissed any Japanese people off before I knew all this.

On the way home I got to listen to some of the recent western music on the radio. Made me realise how badly in touch I was. Also most of the music sounded like garbage. I did like the song Tonight Tonight by Hot Chelle Rae. However the first time I actually heard the song was months ago from a cover on youtube by Jimmy Wong

I kinda prefer this version than the original, well music video wise that is.

Blogtober Part 1 (Vlogtober Day 22)

Well since my internet is capped making uploading videos a nightmare, I might as well blog instead. I made this blog a while ago which is convenient cause I can now fall back on it.

So here's Vlogtober Day 22 - Written Edition.

Today I woke up to a text from Rebecca saying how much she's loving U-KISS' latest album. She was also trying out the new iMessage from iOS 5 which lets you text anyone over 3G for free (I highly recommend for people who has an iPhone) She wanted to hang out and since I needed to eat lunch anyway I might as well.

So we met up in Westfield. I heard that the Dick Smith at Parramatta was selling a particular item I was interested in seeing and they did! A fog machine! And it costed $80. If the crew each chipped in like less than $10, I Just Got K'd would have their very own fog machine! Why would we need a fog machine? Beats me, but it would be so cool!

Afterwards I got a bite to eat and we just chatted for a while. Bec needed to go to Strathfield and I was supposed to have dinner with family so we parted ways.

So parents decided we'd have dinner at Beverly Hills. Then I remembered that Kelvin had a restaurant there, and he works there too... hmm. Though I highly doubt I would see him since we've been to this particular restaurant (can't remember name) so many times now. But the fact that I go to Beverly Hills occasionally for dinner leaves plenty of stalking opportunities...

So after much consideration, I think I might take up popping style. Wikipedia says that hip hop dance is made up of 3 main styles: breaking, locking and popping. I've tried breaking before but I find it way too hard to master. Honestly I never really fancied the actual popping move but there are other moves such as tutting and moves involving freezes which I totally find appealing. And learning to be more precise would definitely come in handy on making my overall moves cleaner when I go back to doing the best style of all: Kpop ;)

I definitely wouldn't mind doing this kind of stuff

and just because Naruto is awesome

Starting up a blog

Following the trend of my crew mates I have decided to make a blog. This is something I have contemplated making as it allows me to write about anything no matter how small and insignificant.

I don't think I'll announce this until I get the hang around the layout. If you do manage to find this then your stalking skills are quite formidable.

Anyway that's all and hope I can make this blog interesting to those who wish to take a look into my inner thoughts.
